Yo! VFR,
were you doing the slight porpoise thingy?
Power changes catching you out with the pedal input?
Just a new machine's all, I found the same things in my first flights and as I don't get enough time in the 350 the initial 5-10 mins, while being "tidy" aren't bang on and if there's a large leg of S & L the ol' feet can get caught out.
The pick-up, general flying etc aren't too bad coming from a robbie, but the landings?????
good on ya mate, sounds like an awesome trip, well worth a few beers & packet of crips
